I've been buying and reading all my multiformat ebooks from fictionwise. Generally jBook has no problem with epub format from fictionwise.

But a caveat though. My jBook has encountered problems with more than a couple ebooks from fictionwise (in epub format) that were published at least 4 years ago. Some magazine back issues and old novels couldn't be read at all, and a few look ugly on jBook because of formatting problems.

My iRiver Story has zero problem with anything from fictionwise.

Fictionwise seems to have remedied the situation. Most recent fictionwise ebooks seem to work fine with my jBook.

No, it can't. There are two (or three) DRM formats for the Sony. There's the older lrf-format that can only be read by the Sony devices, then there is the more recent epub with Adobe DRM that can be read by most of he modern devices except Kindle. PDFs with Adobe DRM are also supported by Sony. The JBL, however does not read any DRMed format except B&N's ereader format.
